Nationalist Faction of Sikkim

The Nationalist Faction was a reactionary political faction in the Kingdom of Sikkim that existed from 1642 to 1975. The Nationalist Faction consisted of staunch royalists and nationalists, and it supported absolute monarchy in the country. The Nationalist Faction advocated a state-run economy, but it was more lenient on its economic policy views than other countries, who usually advocated all-out state capitalism instead of interventionism. The Nationalist Faction also supported the dominance of Hindu Nepalis in the country, and it opposed the immigration of non-Nepalis into the country. The Nationalist Faction also sought to pursue a militarist foreign policy. It was disbanded in 1975 when Sikkim was annexed by India.
